Sketches from Nambodea
A scrapbook of sketches and miscellaneous memorabilia from Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Saigon, Siem Reap—and a little Seoul, too.

.
Friendly staff and great breakfasts.
.
Vietnamese folk tales reenacted with puppets on water,
traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides background music.
.
Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi—from Cafe Pho Co.
.
My favorite meal in Hanoi! Now on to Halong Bay...
.
I spent two nights in this cozy little cabin.
Good food, good kayaking, too.
Hue, Vietnam—I discover I've lost my credit card. I imagine I left it back on the Dragon Pearl. I find it two days later in my carry-on bag.
.
It looked like a cafe. A great example of Vietnamese hospitality.
This was the place I was looking for. Bun thit nu'ong was a little too spicy for me.
.
Torrential downpour. Refuge under a tented stall with some pho. Hoi An tomorrow.
.
Hoi An, Vietnam— I've got my sights set on a banh mi.
(I will have three in as many days.)
.
Once again, a really nice hotel with a helpful staff.
